>What did Microsoft and Apple gave us?

Windows, Office (Excel), .NET / C#, Vs Code, Visual Studio, free GitHub and more?

I meant OSS or free products. Windows / Office / Visual Studio are for profit products? GitHub was free before Microsoft bought it, they just made the private repos free as well. But arguably GitHub was better before.

But I do agree C#, VS Code and TypeScript are nice Microsoft OSS/Free gifts to the world.

Online office is free, just like Google's.

Visual Studio has a free version.

Windows can be used for free (unactivated) if you're okay with the limitations.
